Arguably the most recognizable UNICEF photo of Audrey was captured by John Isaac in Ethiopia. She even based a drawing on it for a charity auction. The drawing is much more somber in comparison. 

As Robert Matzen writes in Warrior, “In evoking sadness through art, Audrey achieved something she couldn’t allow herself in the field. Her natural inclination among suffering children was to bring them joy, to smile, to lift them up even if only for a moment, which worked against her mission to to serve as an eyewitness to human suffering. Photo after photo taken in Ethiopia shows a beaming Audrey with beaming children that reflcted her million-dollar impact, her natural pizzaz even among humans in dire circumstances, wracked with pain from hunger and malnutrition as most were. But after her return from Ethiopia, through a simple painting, she could show the moment before and after the smiles, the anguish of the mother, the bravery of the child.”

Audrey might have played a Bronte heroine. James Mason would play Rochester and was tasked with convincing Audrey to star opposite him in Jane Eyre. However, the actor refused, saying:

“Jane Eyre is a little mouse and Audrey is a head-turner. In any room where Audrey Hepburn sits, no matter what her make-up is, people will turn and look at her because she’s so beautiful.”
